6 We kis'd and clapped each other!

o merry as we were then,

So merry as we were then,

our vows for to renew;

So ay I courted my laddie,

and pleas’d the Miniter too.

It was on a fine immer evening,

I went out for to meet with my lad,

He took me into his arms,

our hearts being wond’rous glad!

And what came o' me then

ye need na believe me now;

But ay I courted' my laddie,

and pleas'd the Miniter too

When I came hame to my mitres, he colded and he flet; Says; where have you been wa'king,

that ye have tay d ae late?

That ye have tay d ae late,

your mater I will tell.

Thinks I, madam, ye need na fah,

for I’ll ha chave [sic] to do that myel'.

But I keepet ay up my courage, and made na muckle din And my laddie came ay and aw me, ay's he gaed out and in, And ay s he gaed out and in, ay he pried my mou', So ay I courted my laddie, and plea'd the Miniter too.
